The smaller size will fit most older teens and adult women. The larger size is appropriate for a mens 24” head. Because the ribbing is worked in a 4x2 rib it does not hat the same elasticity as a 2x2 rib would have. Thus it does not pull in as snuggly when worn. This accounts for why the relaxed 16.5” fits a 19-22.5” head.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf the idea of a 4x2 ribbing makes you uncertain about fit, you can alter the hat and cast on 140 (160) and work in a classic 2x2 (knit 2, purl 2) ribbing for 2” and then begin the pattern with rnd 2 of the written (and charted) instruction. However, be aware that the stitch pattern will not flow from the ribbing as it does in the pattern photos.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHat shown in the larger size used 78 grams of Jig DK yarn (about 180 yards).\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Independent Designer","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56749251559802,"sku":"UPID50196","price":4.46,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0931\/3219\/4170\/files\/df20a8336cc83412f7bc0d4a6829ac454fb9310d_UPID50196_174232687631991.jpg?v=1775907921","url":"https:\/\/www.lovecrafts.com\/en-gb\/products\/banza-knitting-pattern-by-1-more-row-designs","provider":"LoveCrafts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
